“For Christians, the beginning of the day should not be burdened and
haunted by the various kinds of concerns that they face during the
day. The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All
restlessness, all impurity, all worry and anxiety flee before him.
Therefore, in the early morning hours of the day, may our many
thoughts and our many idle words be silent and may the first word and
the first thought belong to the One to whom our whole life belongs.”
Deitrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
